University of California, Los Angeles researchers have discovered that chronic stress flips brain activity between two ...

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a debilitating condition and a major cause of premature death worldwide. Chronic stress plays a significant role, but the underlying mechanism involving ...

The authors instead suggest that the hippocampus and the perirhinal cortex both play a role in recollection and familiarity, and that these two regions of the medial temporal lobe differ mainly in ...

In particular, they examined gene expression in the medial amygdala, a region of the brain central to regulating social behavior. “We found a set of genes that appear to regulate social transitions, ...

Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC; blue; peak voxel at MNI coordinates 2, 46, −16) and right amygdala (red; peak voxel at MNI coordinates 20, −6, −20) are shown on axial slices. As the center of the ...

To uncover more anatomical features of the reconstructed fibres, we used subregion-specific masks of the amygdala (basolateral, centromedial, and superficial) and the pulvinar (anterior, medial, ...

Here, we demonstrate that in the presence of E 2, NKB signaling induces LH release in a kisspeptin-independent manner through the activation of NK3R (NKB receptor) neurons in the posterodorsal medial ...

However, we did not find abnormalities in intrinsic connectivity of the amygdala with medial prefrontal regions or ACC. Interestingly, MDD patients showed greater intrinsic connectivity between ...
